<div>Folks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is sad but official: the Indonesian organizers have cancelled the IGF.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There is a news report in Bahasa Indonesia at <a href="http://inet.detik.com/read/2013/07/25/135130/2314218/328/kurang-dana-forum-internet-dunia-batal-digelar-di-bali" target="_blank">http://inet.detik.com/read/2013/07/25/135130/2314218/328/kurang-dana-forum-internet-dunia-batal-digelar-di-bali</a>.
Use Google translate and you will be able to read.</div>

<div>I had met the civil society organizers just this week. According to the news report, out of the US$2.2M (Rp22 billion) budget, they had raised US$900k. The Ministry had given US$250k. So they had a shortfall of US$1.05M.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
<div>Peng Hwa</div>
